Can cheek piercing “dimples” be removed? (Photos)

August 20, 2018
Asked By:Learodriguez in Wyoming, WY

Hi, I had my cheeks pierced 10 years ago. It has left me with tiny scars and “dimples” when I smile. The lines from the dimples have turned into my smile as I’ve aged and is starting to wrinkle the skin there. Is there a possible PERMANENT procedure I can get that will fix this so that when I smile, I won’t have a dimple/line on my cheek anymore? I want to it to be smooth with the rest of my cheek like before and I don’t want my skin to tug at those areas. Also, what do costs look like? Thanks!
